Thanks XR250. That's a good idea. It's sure to add some margin. Now I just need to determine if the angle aluminum is sufficient to carry the load without the top leg bending down relative to the vertical leg. I'll check our local libraries to see if the Aluminum Design Manual that was...
Hello driftLimiter, Thanks for the quick feedback. All very good points. This is a one-time task that exceeds my analytical and modeling capabilities. Can you recommend a resource that has the knowledge base or experience that could indicate if I'm significantly under- or over-designed, or...
Need: Mount a 350 lb panel to a wall using a length of aluminum angle to support the vertical load.
